Working for a highly regulated company at least company owned desktop monitoring is BAU. I assume anything I do with company equipment is monitored at all times. And if I forget they remind me every time I log in.
When I discovered the company needed to protect their data by pushing on a policy that let them wipe my personal device remotely I respected that and bought a personal device dedicated to the task of reading email and running their apps. But not everyone has that luxury. I'm fortunate to be able to buy an iPad and dedicate it to blackberry and the company app store.
It's an interesting conundrum because am I really obligated to install this to every personal device or just the one I'm using for work-related tasks? I think a reasonable person would assume the latter.
And am I under obligation to use a personal device compatible with their spyware? What if it only works under IOS and I'm an Android user? What if tsheets only works on Windows and I'm a MacOS guy, or heck I just run a remote desktop viewer from a raspberry pi? Lol.
- driverdan 6y agoWhy would you install anything from an employer on a personal device? If they want you to install their spyware they should buy the hardware.
- lonelappde 6y agoOr they can decline to let you connect to the corp net when you are out of office.
- technofiend 6y agoWhich isn't really an option now that we have mandatory work from home. I'm not going to quit my job because they don't wish to supply me with a laptop.
- sleepychu 6y agoRight, but now the situation is give and take. You want me to do work on my personal device? Maybe I'm willing to bring that to the table. You want me to install your spyware on it... not so much.
- technofiend 6y agoBYOD is a fact of life these days. I'm not defending the practice but on the other hand I'm not going to quit over it either.
